Those parents who look upon the public
school as merely a place to which they can
send their children to get them out OF the
way or keep them ont Of mischief for ten
months in the year, will, of course, not at
tend the commencement exercises this af-
ternoon in the Opera House. Such things
have no attraction for them. But the pa
rent who sees in the school the medium by
which, with little care or anxiety on the
parents part, the child is laying the sub
s~tantial groundwork for future usefulness,
aud who really takes an interest in the vel
fare of his children, will, if other engage
ments be not too exacting, cheer the pupils
and encourage the teachers by being pres
ent, thus showing that the arduous laDors
of the latter for the past school year are
not altogether unappreciated. From an
inspection of the programme the exercises
bid fair to be very interesting.

The Register says that the Prohibition

The Register says that the Prohibition
lists will s'run'' the sh of July demonstra-
ton in the Borough this year, which is
about as close to the truth as the Register
generally gets when it undertakes to re-
port the doings of the temperance folks
h~ereabouts. The project originated with
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union
and except as individuals, disposed to lend
a helping hand, the Prohibition Club have
nothing to do with it. However, all the
temperance people without regard to or
ganization, arc taking hearty hold OF the
affair. and the indications are that, the

Horace Greeley, thc founder of the New

license system, said: "No practical en-
forcement of the license system will ever
sensibly mitigate the evils Of intemperance.

alcoholic beverages, and every youth is
thereby warned from the cradle that those
beverages are harmful and dangerous, and
that by drinking them he encourages the

Many churches still argue that it is
wrong to make any change in the emblem
used as typical of the blood of Christ.
They say that VINE was used by Christ at
the last supper, therefore that is the trnc
emblem. Also that 'tlc sacrament
should be the outward sign Of the inward
grace" And if a person were truly peri-
tent, and 4 worthy communicate, he could
not be harmed by the taste received.
Whether or not Christ used the ommon
wine Of the country, or the pure juice Of
GRAPE, has been a subject of much earnest
and praycrful study. Each one must de
eide this question for himself; but this We
do know, that Christ did not use the word
wine at the last supper, but, ''the fruit Of
the vine" So that when we use that at
the sacrament we are oboying a. literal
command.
We have frequently been asked to study
the passover feast. This is the connection
between that, and the communion SER
vice.
The last supper of our Lord WAS eele-
bratcd at the time of the passover feast in
Jerusalem. As Il Jew it seemed at least
reasonable to assume that Christ would fol-
low the custom of his people. If, there
fore, we can prove that the law which for
babe the use of ''daything which was
leareaed," applied to the wine as well as to
the bread, then beyond question, the term,
fruit of the vine, which Christ used at this
feast could refer only to the unfermentcd
wine of grape juice.
To the Jews 'fermcnt'' was q common
sign of corruption.
If fermentation was a sign of corruption
to the jews, the Inconsistency of the
Christian churches in using Jermented wine
as = symbol of redemption from sin and
corruption, comes homo to MS with more

PEN Picture of The Rum Seller.

The Temperance ANun pictures a rum
seller at some exposition showing his wares
and speaking thus:
"This thing You see here, ladies and
gentlemen, is the product of American
skill and industry. He was a man-l may
say, q gentleman. He stood erect, moved
iubilant feet, had a countenance beaming
with Intelligence, q mind of vast power,
and q character without %reproach.
He was a loving child, u loyal husband,
a splendid citizen before he came into my
laboratory. l have worked him over, |
touched his clear eyes with crimson, and
made his nose as red and irregular rs a
lump of coral. | embroidered his checks
with rum buds and brandy blossoms. |
cracked his voice and crooked his form. |
stained his character and scattered his
mind.
No matter what n mans religious belief
is. he believes in hell when he has dclirium
tremens. He sees the devil then. Don't
go near him, dear friends; q lighted cigar
in contact with his breath might result in
spontaneous combustion. You ask me
why | do this kind of work. Because it
pays. | do it according to law. Men go
to the Legislature to protect me in my IL
censed trade. 1t does not require much
brains nor money to do this work. Why,
ladies and gentlemen, you can see plenty
specimens of my work, and work of men
of my calling, in the poor houses and
prisons and mad houses all over the land"

HILLsBoRO.

The first name given TO this ancient boz
rough was aCorbinton." How il obtained
tlsis appellatien is mot known. upon it his
tory and tradition is silent. 1t lived nm
der this name for only brief period and
was afterward called "Childsboro" as q
compliment to one William Guilds, who
was his Magisty's Attorney Generd for
the colony. but owing to some financial
troubIes in which il is said Mr.. Childs did
not act properly, the mama Of the town
was changed to Hillsboro as compli ment
to Lord Earl Of Hillsboro, who was for
eign Secretary under Qleen Anne. Ira
dition. however, says that u obtained its
name from the following circumstances.
Governor Tryon and his wife's sister, La
dy Wake, who resided at Hi!lsboro in
England, upon one occasion was walking
upon the mountains south Of the town,
and coming TO on eminence, she remarked.
"Goyernor. how much like one old hone
in England IS this place." The Governor
then called 1t Hillsboro. This, however,
needs confirmation.
Before the settlement Of thistown there
lived on the banks Of the river tribo Of
Indians called Eno-ee. from whom the
river rightfu,ly takes its name. Further
up the river and on the South side among
the hills lived another tribe called
.O-chon.s-kee' from whom our mountains
rightfully take their name. Il follows
then that the or iginal and trne name OF
the river is Eno-ee and not Eno--and the
mountains 0 choao kes' aud not .O-k0a &C.
